More shopping!
Well, this is a bit belated, but we bought quite a lot of stuff for Kaizer in New York too, which I think is a baby shopping haven. The Toys 'R' Us at Times Square itself is five storey high, and just a few subway stations away is an ultra cute Baby 'R' Us that is four storey high. There's every imaginable baby product there, it's just too bad that we could only get the smaller items that could fit into our luggage bags. So basically, it's more clothes, more feeding items, and a lot more toys from New York. I also managed to get a bumbo sit tray that I've never seen before in Singapore. I guess it must be quite fun to raise kids in the States.

Arrived at Harvard, finally!
Arrived at Harvard last night *phew*, after an incredibly ardous journey that included a 19 hour flight from Singapore to New York, a four hour internal flight from New York to Boston, a bus ride out of the airport, a train ride to Harvard square, and then a 10 minute walk to Irving Street where we're currently staying.
The internal flight was not supposed to have taken four hours as it was a one hour flight. However, due to very heavy fog at the Boston airport, my Jet Blue (popular domestic low-cost carrier) flight had to circle and circle Boston airport continuously while waiting for an opportune time to land. Fog made the aircraft quite unstable as the aircraft's a very small one. Then after a while the pilot decided that we've ran out of fuel, and the plane had to dock at Rhode Island for a pit stop. We stayed more than an hour there. Flight only had 70-80plus passengers, but amongst them were a few crying toddlers, a 7mth old screaming baby, a 37-weeks preg mama, and a man who was so sick halfway that EMT services had to evacuate him.
Well, to cut the long story short, with all the drama and having finally landed at Boston, everyone on the plane was so happy to have finally reached their destination safe and sound.

And his verdict? He doesn't really like it.
